Prophecies of a Dragon

Twilight was becoming more irritated with noble dignitaries and politicians, as soon as she would finish with one, another dignitary  would have another tedious and pointless request. She was beginning to understand why Celestia was becoming bored with her job, and Twilight didn't do this all the time. Celestia only told her to come to Canterlot to understand the practical knowledge of the politics of Equestria. Twilight began to dislike politicians after the first day; she knew that all princesses were supposed to be versed in the politics of Equestria.Whether they hated it or not, Twilight knew where her true responsibilities lie being the protégé of Princess Celestia.

Twilight's brief break from politics with Celestia was pretty much over. They had some cucumber sandwiches with some tea to calm the stress of politics, but what Twilight wanted was to see her beloved Dashy and her best friends in the universe. Though she knew, she was needed here it was only for a week than she would return to Ponyville in the next week.

"My dearest, twilight what's wrong my faithful student?"Celestia inquired in a comforting tone,

"Nothing, Princess Celestia I'm fine," Twilight replied trying to hide her sadness

"I know you miss your friends, but we should probably get ready for the next session of court. By the way, this came in for you, but you will have to read it later, it's addressed to you it's probably from your friends."

Twilight saw the parchment addressed to her, she instantly recognized the font it was written in, it belonged to her love Dashy. Twilight was so very eager to read what was written by her love, but she had to put the ponies of Equestria first. And handle the burdens of a Princess, with politicians wanting every moment of her time with their selfish intent, some more selfish than others.

~****~

It was late afternoon when Twilight had been able to leave the court. Twilight walked out of the courtroom and waved at the dignitaries who were still lingering in the castle, graciously saying a polite "Hello," to them. Twilight remembered the letter she was sent by her beloved Dashy. She gently pulled the cyan string from the letter and opened the scroll and began to read.

"Dear Twilight;

We would like your opinion on this strange occurrence spike has said a riddle and then fainted. I quote,

"Pony to Alicorn I see; is it you or is it me. Will we find out that which the rock cracks and the bed rocks as the skies fall and nights rise.  Begin to end, no more to come, diamonds to dust ash to reside, the creek of the little foal flows steadily to a stop. Beginning or an end who  very well knows the map knows but those who are not the six will hear nothing at all."

So egghead what do you make of it

Always yours;

your beloved and devoted Dashy

xxooxxoo"

Twilight was so happy to hear that something amazing happened while she was becoming bored with politicians and dignitaries. She especially felt all the better to find out that her Dashy had been missing her as well. The last part of the letter was her favorite part, "your beloved and devoted dashy." it made her feel like nothing in the world could stop there love from then on.

The part about the riddle confused her though. Twilight remembered reading about dragon prophecies and how they should be followed. As Twilight was thinking of what it meant, she made a note to do more research on the riddle. Twilight figured it had something to do with her and her friends; her friends being the six but for the rest of it, she could not figure it out for the life of her. She was still elated at the thought that Rainbow had thought of her, she stopped thinking and started writing a reply to her beloved marefriend.

"My Dearly Beloved Dashy;

I loved the letter you sent you made my night, I was having such a terribly boring day dealing with politicians and dignitaries alike. I hope to be back soon, and when I get back to Ponyville I have a surprise for you and you will love it, hehe. I will continually think of you as I hold the feather, you gave to me on that candle lit night we preened each other for the first time.

I love you my, Dashy you are my world.

Now to the rest of you girls and Spike;

I want you to follow Spikes prophecy, if a dragon told you to go, then you must go. A dragons prophecy is always important and what I think it means so far is that it's talking about us. And that's all I can make of it for now, ill do more research on it tomorrow when I have finished with the courts and politicians... I hope to hear from you again soon.

yours lovingly;

Twilight especially you, Dashy XOXO"

Then within a moment she tied the scroll up with a purple ribbon. Then grasped it with her magic, and cast the spell that Celestia taught her to send messages to spike, with a flash of magenta light the scroll vanished.

Twilight awoke the next morning not keen to begin another day in court, but Twilight knew she had to. She was walking to the royal dining hall for a bite to eat when she found herself running into one of the royal guards horn first. A rather tall and striking stallion with a blue mane, it was an old crush of hers before she realised that she preferred mares over stallions. It was Flash Sentry more a brother now than anything more.

"Hi there, sorry I bumped into you, hows things going," Twilight said to Flash,

"Great hey where's, Applejack?" Flash replied

"Unfortunately she's in ponyville why do you ask Flash?"

"No reason just curious."

"Do you have a crush on, AJ Flash?" Twilight gave a quizzing look

Flash sentry blushed "I believe... I heard the captain call me I... better go sorry, Twi but I gotta fly."

The only thing left in the wake of Flashes escape was a dust cloud; Twilight chuckled under her breath at flashes reaction.

Twilight heard Celestia call out to her from the royal dining hall trying to speed the young mare up to get breakfast. She would be at full strength for another tedious day of politics, Celestia was motherly over her faithful student like that. Twilight didn't mind having the princess of the sun mother her like that, she actually quite liked it.

Twilight got to the dinning hall quickly, then hastily devoured her food so she would not be late to begin the tedious day again. The first dignitary was prince blue blood who was trying to destroy the parks even after being told by Luna, Celestia and Twilight, he still didn't get the hint. This is what made politics completely boring the repetitive antic's of those ponies who wanted it there way.

"As we said to you before, we cannot take the parks away from the citizens of Equestria who use the parks!" Twilight stated with an authority in her voice that she was still not use to.

"but they lie on the prime ground for real estate," Prince Blueblood replied insistently

"we shall not speak of this again, Prince Blue Blood."

"but-"

"Now go and bother somepony else!" Twilight cut him off

prince blue blood left in a huff without another word.

"Well done my student," Celestia commented.

"Thankyou." Twilight said filled with pride.

After another several hours past Twilight was free to return to her room again and leave the courts once more. Twilight asked one of the guards if she had received any mail from her beloved and her best friends. But to her disappointment, there was nothing at all.
